I just stabilized my first ever 2 gallons of strawberry wine and I dont want to screw this up. It's been 3 months since I made it and it has an ABV of 12.5%. It needs to be sweetened and I was wandering when I backsweeten should I dissolve the sugar in water or dissolve it in a little of the wine it self? If you suggest the later, wouldnt that affect the alcohol being that its such a small batch?
 
A very old winemaking book I refer to suggests making a syrup of two parts sugar and one part water. Heat, dissolve, and cool. Add to your wine. Everybody gets drunk. No problem.:tank:
